Fish Tacos!

Fish tacos. There is no definite recipe for these. Usually, a white fish is used. Tilapia is delicious and easy to cook with, so you may find more tacos that use it.

Please note: I am in no way a photographer. The pictures you get to see on this blog are crappy but real. I think this looks delicious. Mostlybecause it was! Oh. I love avacado too- so instead of slices- I just chunked them on there. Nom nom nom...

Also, we double most all of our recipes, so the pictures may look like more than what you would normally have We love leftovers. They are the best!

One more thing. If you noticed. We used white corn tortilla shells. A lot of times, we dont have time to make our own (I will, however, be making my own shells in a future recipe! Stay tuned for that!) This isn't straight paleo but a better option- instead of flour tortilla shells. If you are just completely against it- check out a coconut tortilla recipe at the bottom of the post.

PREP:
10 minutes

Cook
time: 10 minutes

Total:
20 minutes

Serves:
4

INGREDIENTS

1lb
fresh tilapia fillets

1
tbsp coconut oil

1
medium onion, chopped

4
cloves garlic, minced

1
or 2 jalapeño pepper(s), finely chopped (our grocery store was out of these so I used pepperoncini's instead.. worked fine!)

2
cups tomatoes, diced

1/4
cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

3
tbsp lime juice

Sea
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1
avocado, sliced

DIRECTIONS

In
a large skillet over a medium-high heat, mix the coconut oil, garlic and onions together. Cook for about 5 minutes. You'll want your onions to be soft and
translucent

Add
the tilapia fillets to the skillet

Allow the fillets to cook for 3 - 4
minutes on each side. As the fish begins to cook, use
a fork and pull it apart into flaky pieces

Add
the jalapeno pepper, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice to the mix and then
season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for at least 5 minutes before removing from
heat
